Smoky Corn and Shrimp Chowder

This is how lazy Joey and I are. When we went to the grocery store on Saturday, instead of buying fresh corn to make chowder with, we almost bought frozen. There we are, produce bag open, first ear of corn in hand, when we decide having to shuck and de-kernel it ourselves is not worth it.

Luckily, we came to our senses. I mean, it is corn season after all. It would be a crime not to take advantage of how cheap and delicious fresh corn is right now.

I made this chowder a few weeks ago and while I wasn’t overly wowed by it, Joey declared it “AWESOME!!” So I was determined to make some changes that wowed me, while still maintaining the chowder’s “AWESOME”-ness. I’m pretty delighted by what I came up with.
